morning newspapers after the opera
were foiloweo by the significant words

macK-evening tracks are a crave
just now and a very stunning black
jetted dinner gown is illustrated. A
tunic sprinkled with jet beads falls
below a cuirass bodice formed of Jet
bands and the same bands are used
to weigh the foot of the tunic. With
these black gowns a vivid rose is worn
tucked in the corsage to give color
and character. ' One of the most at-
tractive young women at the horse
show wore at the evening session a
black chiffon gown and big black pic-
ture hat the V-shaped decolletage of
the bodice ending under a big bril-
liant American beauty rose.
A Dainty Frock for the Hostess.
For the woman who disapproves of
1 the. formality of velvet for an infor-
jnial Christmas dinner an ideal little
frock of chiffon is illustrated. This
frock hails directly from Paris an 1
shows the unmistakable French touch
in Its combination of chiffon heavy
metallic lace and fur; the use of these
three fabrics being representative of
the Busslan fad now prevailing in
Paris. This frock shows a petticoat
of pink satin over which fails a tunic
of gray chiffoH thickly pleated into the
belt and caught lower down under a
band of silver lace. The tunic ia
bordered at its lower edge with seal-
skin and an insertion of rose-colored
velvet set into the silver lace makes

niodice of gray chiffon over pink is
fbloused above a high ceinture of the
metalic lace and sealskin. Only
French genius could manipulate such
a material as sealskin around the
waist line without bulkishness but the
whole effect of this little dinner frock
is graceful youthful and light for all
its elegance and material..
For the midday dinner .en famille is
shown a high-necked costume of lichen
reen silk cassimere with a cuirass
bodice of Russian embroidery in gra-
green and rose tones. The sleevel
gtiimpe of black chiffon Is laid oer
an under guimpe of silver gauze eti.-
broidered about the throat with bla k.
green and rose. If desired the silver
net guimpe could be replaced by a o'-
larless one of creamy lace.
A Motor Bonnet Trimmed Wifh War-
about. The satin evening scarfs "ordered
with fluffy marabout hare proved so
becoming that now all the girls are
making or having made marabout
trimmed bonnets for motor wear and
these bonnets with their frills of soft
lace within the marabout rim. are dis-
tractingly ecoming. The bonnet il-
lustratedis of sheil pink satin and
has a naint little cape over the shoul-
ders. Bonnet and cape are lined with
shirred pink chiffon and within the
brim of the bonnet are sewed rows
and rows of narrow cream Va edging
